Perry, Commander of the Second Service Command, assert that enemy agents, saboteurs and fifth columnists con stitute a threat to this country whicfi is, "in some respects more serious than invasion." j The General says that there were enemy agents thickly and strategi-j cally located throughout Poland, France. Holland. Norway end other Kist the general our ablest military leader. Now that our army is trained and being rapidly moved into position for the .beginning of our supreme effort the necessity arises to name a com mander. Logic and common sense, it seems, would suggest that we use our ablest military leader, because certainly the task is most vital.

While some people in this country have the idea that the danger of fifth columnists, spies and saboteurs has been . . over-emphasized, they should remember that'these enemies only spring into action at the time of invasion, to demoralize and disrupt defense. Nothing would be gained by their premature action and, conse quently, they will remain undisclosed unless an opportunity arises. If, as seems probable, the Germans are unable to produce a pomising moment in this country, the friends of the Axis will wait until the war ends and then attempt to serve the German cause. They will stir up dis cord between the Allies; denounce the terms of peace and ? attempt to revive nationalist and isolationist sentiment. Major Post-War Problem mand millions of their soldiers. "Just About To Begin" Marshall Warns Of Lossen General George C. Marshall, in ins address to members of the American Legion, in convention, said that "we are ready to carry the war to the enemy, all overseas, thank God, witn a power and force that we hope will bring this conflict to an early conclusion." The General asked the public to "please remember that this phase is just about to begin." He finds some misunderstanding as to our progress in war" and "the impression" that we have undertaken the final steps in the conflict. Outlining what has been accom plished in the past year and a halt, General Marshall said, "We have been engaged in establishing bases for future operations" and "our ship ping has been largely employed in getting our air forces in action and of re- Thousands of bushels of sweet po tatoes are lost in North Carolina each winter because growers wait until .
